Trainers on the wire...

The soothing sight of a pair of worn out trainers hanging from a telephone wire is always going to raise a chuckle with me.
I've never been sure whether the whole trainers hanging from a wire is drug related or gang related or just some pissed up blokes trying to confuse people. I tend to side with the latter.
This hilariously classic Daily Mail article litterally had me laughing aloud to myself...click here for the middleclass panic riddled guff.
The quote, "We asked about the trainers and people said it was an American thing and to do with drugs." , had me reaching for my chuckle box, its such a middle class alarmist thing to come out with, i mean who did this person ask?? a man next door, someone in the pub, a cashier in the bank??. Hey maybe it was just someone who thought it would be funny to through some trainers over a wire..?



This lovely pair was photographed just outside of my workplace.Taken and edited on my iPod using Camera+

Camera+ & Cat

Another picture of Pebbles the cat this time taken using Camera+ App on my iPod, even with the appallingly shitty iPod camera it produces pretty decent results.
I love the interface and how quickly it processes images. The inbuilt fx are pretty decent aswell, the below cat picture was edited using the "minature" process which is just a faux tiltshift effect.
There is in App purchasing available, you can buy load of hipstamtic esq effects, altho i cant be bothered as im all hipstmaticed out now...
I'll be messing around with this for a few days a will try and remember to post some more pictures of non cat based subjects...just wish the iPod had the same camera as the iPhone 4...gahhhh


Camera+ is currently available for 59p..bargin...

Pictures from an iPod

Ipod photo stuff...

Downloaded an interesting little app for iOS the other day, TiltShiftGen.
Its basically a cheap and dirty way of emulating proper Tilt Shift photography (you know..that toy town effect)...whilst it isn't going to give you pro results, its pretty decent..you just select the area to keep in focus and it blurs the rest accordingly, you also have colour,brightness and contrast adjustments.
I took these pictures at work, the subject matter isn't the best way of demonstrating this kind of effect, but thats all i had to work with, im pretty sure with abit of work you could get some really decent pictures..i was just litterally pointing and shooting inbetween doing work...hence why my pictures are sure to be scoffed at.
